ND B-Ball

Ordinarily my allegiance for basketball is with the 'Zags because I can't root for Notre Dame. I'm quite a homer, so I can't handle rooting for a team that routinely sucks balls (other than the Pirates). However, the Fightin' Irish B-ball team is kicking some serious ass.

Last night they beat Number 5 Alabama. In addition to simply beating the Crimson Tide, Notre Dame did it by scoring 99 points. In a college game, that is huge. ND better be ranked in the top ten next week. Everyone knows that anytime ND wins a big game they have to be outrageously overrated so that the networks can get big ratings out of them playing some highly ranked team. Notre Dame then proceeds to lose to the other, properly ranked team very badly (see every bowl game for the last 10 years).

Anyway, soon Notre Dame will win the hat trick of National Championships by winning football basketball and baseball. Including the winning touchdown catch, and winning game of the world series pitched by Jeff Samardzija. Follwing this I will have a beautiful, long-haired 3-way with Samardzija and Adam Morrisson. OK, that last part might not happen, but I wish it would.
